Integration of an Internet anatomy review of the knee joint in a rehabilitation sciences curriculum: "http:/(/)www.musc.edu/chp-rehab/anatomy/ kneedemo.htm".
The cost and difficulty of obtaining cadavers to teach anatomy in allied health programs and in medical schools have led to the development of new interactive technology to complement cadaver dissection. However, the price of these computer software packages often limits the schools from purchasing these products. The advantages of the Internet in the academic setting (easy and global accessibility associated with low cost) enticed us to develop an Internet site to study the anatomy of the knee. This article describes the process of developing an Internet site, the procedure for accessing an Internet site, and the contribution of Internet sites to the teaching of anatomy to students. Finally, this article provides addresses on the Internet for other anatomy sites related to the anatomy of the knee. In conclusion, our Internet site allows the students to study anatomy at a low cost while utilizing a new and exciting educational medium.
